Got the carnitas, chorizo, and sirloin tacos and they’re probably some of the best I’ve eaten. If you like lechon, you’ll probably like the carnitas - it’s very flavourful and the sauces add a bit of spiciness depending on your tolerance. The pickled carrots were also a nice touch as a palette cleanser. The horchata was very creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. Aside from the food, the owners are very friendly and provide exceptional service and the restaurant feels like they’re inviting you into their home for a really good meal.

I love the sirloin taco for $5. It never disappoints. Nice, clean air-conditioned location. A beautiful new addition to Eglinton West.

By far one of the best Mexican tortas that I've ever had. I grew up in New Mexico, USA and moving to Canada has made it difficult to find decent Mexican food. This place was an exact replica of the dishes I had back home. The meat was tender and juicy and extremely flavourful with the chile sauce added and the bread was soft and fresh; the lime they offer gives an extra kick. Overall an absolute 10/10 if you're looking for a nice and affordable Mexican lunch/dinner. I'll absolutely be coming back here again!

Hands down one of the best taco spots in town! These are authentic, local Mexican tacos—not the watered-down version. I had the carnitas and al pastor, and wow, they were juicy and packed with flavor. The homemade salsas were incredible, and they use double corn tortillas with a very generous portion of meat. Service was super attentive, too. Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving real Mexican tacos! Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5!
